          I've been pulling my jair out for a few days trying to get a good 
print out of my "new" Epson 2200. I tried several method of 
printing, including QTR for BW, and Epson's ICC's. All my printing 
has been on EEM with Eboni Black (matte) ink.

Today I realized that the empty cartridges I had purchased to fill 
with MIS (inksupply.com) inks showed up in the Epson driver utility 
as having black set to PHOTO black. If all the prints I had made 
were made by a printer that "though" it had Photo black instead of 
Matte black, that would explain the less than stellar results.

My question is: how do I get my printer to understand it has Matte 
ink loaded and not Photo black? Is it the chip on the refillable cart 
that is marked photo black, or is it a software setting? The empty 
cartridge kit I received only had 7 cartridges, which I believe is 
standard for empties on this printer, so how does everybody else 
swithch from Matte to Photo black on the 2200?
